A progressive liberal Grandma cooks and tries to find a job, after losing her job of 18 years. Can an older RN find full time work or enough part time work to satisfy her budget needs and help raise her grandkids? What can grannie cook for a family of 6 on a miserly budget? Can a knitter afford her yarn on unemployment?. This blog is morphing from its original content to reflect the realities of 2011.

Texas Democratic Convention June 8-10

Ok, I can't live blog like my friends at The Kendallian Voice so I am going to try to catch up. For progressivegrandpa and I it was a trip down memory lane (more later). Here is madmomma's first entry from Ft. Worth:Thursday, June 08, 2006The Dems have hit Fort Worth! Six of us Dems spent our first evening at Joe T. Garcia's, a famous Mexican restaurant. We had margaritas and tons of food. I'd like to say we had a strategy session, but I'd only be lying! We DID discuss Greg Palast's new book, as well as the Patriot Act, so we definitely took care of a smidge of business. We'll head to the convention center tomorrow morning to sign in and start participating in the Democratic process. What fun!
